Galileo Galilei – Freud

A few of references here. One of them is clearly Run, Melos!, but I don’t really know who “toothless Sam” is supposed to be. (One person I’ve talked to has suggested Ronin, but I don’t know how that would work.)

Freud
Lyrics: Ozaki Yuuki
Composition / Arrangement: Galileo Galilei

Barefoot panic.
The loner kids who repeated the sprite-slashing experiments
Won’t respawn from new lives –
I’m sure they just never die.
In a daze, we fell in love.
We killed the toothless Sam.
He’s buried underneath the oak tree.
No matter what happens, in this city, it’s like sand in the wind.
Isn’t that right?

In the middle of the sunflower field, we competed for first place.
A golden-yellow blanket, like one we’d snuggle up to –
We just can’t go without sleeping.

Farewell, saintly hill of Golgotha.
I told a lie at church.
It’s a long story, but everything came out,
So I can’t stay here.
On the final night, I slipped out of the city,
Passing by the running Melos.
How much distance have I run over by now?
I’m terribly tired.

In the middle of the sunflower field, we competed for first place.
A golden-yellow blanket, like one we’d snuggle up to –
Oh, come on, we can’t go without sleeping.

Bye-bye, everything; bye-bye, everything;
Bye-bye, everything; bye-bye, everything.
The sunflowers will always be calling out for me to go out to them,
And I’m sure that you’ll be
Waiting there under the oak tree.

We kicked off the ground and ran,
Wreathed in the surging, legendary flame.
With a deep breath and a blessing, we reached out our arms.
“We wish for,” we pray to the sky,
“A place where we truly belong.”

We lose sight and lose it again,
Repeatedly search & rise.
Where does this way continue to, you ask? Why?
If we’ll understand at the moment when the flame has burned out…

Push your way ahead!
This is your one shot at life,
So there’s no time to waste on being lost and confused.
Even if our brandished arms
Turn to ash,
That’s fine for now.
This is the beginning.

Endlessly calling us, the sound won’t stop ringing out,
But it is fate for everyone to look up to the sky.
With no premonition, tomorrow
Is split in confusion.
I’ll leave that behind.

In the midst of nothing but anxiety,
I hold seething blade & rage.
If you say, “Why can we laugh?” Why!
If we’ll understand at the moment when the flame has burned out…

Push your way out! Run through to your limited future,
So that you won’t have any regrets!
So that we can laugh, someday,
Together with connected arms,
Live through the present.
The prologue of the story that continues from here
Is the journey to search for our own meaning.

In the midst of nothing but anxiety,
Listen to the voice of your heart.
Where does this way lead to, you ask? Why?!
You should know the answer perfectly well by now.

Seize it for yourself!
This is your one shot at life,
So there’s no time to waste on being lost and confused.
Even if our brandished arms
Turn to ash,
That’s fine for now.
On our way to the prologue of the story that continues from here,
We now wake up at the VANISHING POINT!!
